Syria envoy Brahimi to meet Clinton, Lavrov on Thursday

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will meet international Syria mediator Lakhdar Brahimi in Dublin on Thursday to try to put a UN peace process for Syria back on track, diplomatic sources said.

The talks come ahead of a meeting of the Western-backed "Friends of Syria" group in Marrakech next week which is expected to boost support for rebels fighting to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. (Reuters)
